GIVEAWAY





Yes....a giveaway but first....

The eagle has landed

The fox is in the henhouse

It's hammer time

We bought a car.

And it was as painful as I thought it would be.  

We were forced when my husband called me Friday night to come pick him up after the car would not start.  Well it's over right?  Not going to spend 2500.00 on a car that is worth 1500.00 right?

So we started researching on Saturday morning and decide to go test drive a Kia Optima and Nissan Altima.  That was our price point.

Now I am not going to bore you with all that happened..... except to say that after test driving the Optima [which is a nice car by the way] we felt like we were in something the size of a Smart car.  So we decided to test the Kia Cadenza.  It is kind of the Lexus for  "wannabes".  

Which we are so not..... but we are cheap.

After sitting in the room for about 30 minutes while  "creepy salesman" fumbled around talking about options I finally said "how much buckwheat?"

He asked us if we had an hour and I said "no [after kicking my husband under the table] we have 15 minutes".  So he left and came back with some ridiculous number that made me look at him like he had the biggest baddest booger hanging out of his nose.

Really....that's your best shot.... as I said....."thank you....we are going home to research".  Good luck selling a car today dipwad.

We get in the car and my husband said "how much time are we going to spend researching Sherry?".

My answer: "you might have to rent a car before this is over".

Big sigh.  Rethinking marrying me.

Here is where it gets good and a little crazy.

I decided to look on Carmax [even though 2014 is the first year Kia has made this car] and bing flipping go I found one car in Georgia about 30 minutes away.  A demo I assumed tricked out to the fullest for 8,000.00 less [3,800 miles].

WTF.....I read that to my husband so loud his hair and lips peeled back like he had just had the shock of 15 g's on his face.

Oh yeah he was excited now.  Let's go. 

"My wife is the best".
 
So we jump in the car....[it's 7:45 pm] and we are halfway there when I say "did you bring the checkbook?"   No....[my head snaps back cause I'm pretty hungry and tired by this stage and in no mood for silliness] we will just put it on a credit card. 

It was my turn to scream again.  Think Nancy Kerrigan "whyyyyyyy meeeeeee".

Fast forward.  Of course they don't take cc's and I saved the day cause I happen to have my SHD's checkbook with me.  

Or you would have been reading "woman beats husband senseless at Carmax"....story at 11. 

That's that.

Back to the Giveaway.  Yup.  In celebration of 4 years of blogging....I know right!?

I have a 250.00 HomeGoods gift card for you.

Hooty Who..... Hooty Who

You know I am a fan.  Here are some reasons.


I saw this beauty the other day.  Century chair with gorgeous Schumacher fabric.

Gorgeous chest.

Pretty swanky light fixture.

Kitchen accessories for some color in your life.

In my own home I am no stranger to HG.  The green pillow shams were purchased there.

These pillows last spring for a fresh color!


I used this sunburst in my charity project


These metal baskets in a design project.

The black and white box and small wooden bowl to accessorize a coffee table.

I think you get the point.

So.....make sure you are following Design Indulgence....and leave a comment [include contact info if you are "anonymous"]. 

Giveaway closes on Friday.  

Shacoonhound......

mrs. c said...

I hate to think about buying a car....I hope my VW Bug lasts forever! I adore Homegoods because I can always find that unique household item or gift. if I don't have time to hand make my gifts, I can always find something special at Homegoods. Can always find that special cooking item, yummy food, or great linens.

Unknown said...

beautiful designs. Ad I love how you tell your stories, so funny.

*** said...

Well Ms. Shafabulous Sherry
Congrats on your 4 Year Blog Anniversary and your new car! I'm guessing you didn't get the heated steering wheel. Yes, I've been addicted to your humorous blog for a while and HomeGoods is my second home. Love it and love that gorgeous Century chair. My husband just rolls his eyes when he hears I'm going there.
Anyways, hope you keep blogging for a long time.
Bye for now,
Valerie

You brighten my day, both with your fabulous designs and finds, and with your zany sense of humor. I'm such a loyal fan of the homegoods/tjmaxx family that they should roll out the red carpet each time I arrive. I could really do some damage with that sweet baby (gift card) in hand! Planning already, hehehe.

Always look forward to receiving your blog in my mailbox. It makes me smile and brightens my day - and great design ideas too! Could definitely do some damage with $250 in Home Goods - please!

Barbara Moore said...

Car buying is the absolute worst way to spend time. You know I love your blog. I slobber all over it every time you post. Home Goods ROCKS.

Bamagrl said...

I agree totally with you about buying a car! I had had so many awful experiences that the last time we bought one, I told my hubby it was his turn to do all the footwork. He is self-employed with little time to spend, so he did all research online. One day he called me, told me which dealership to go to and who to talk to. I asked for the guy, gave him my name and asked which car I was there for. He pointed at it and I was about to walk inside to pay, but then he asked if I wanted to drive it. I said yes, reluctantly because I didn't want him to say anything to make me think he was trying to cheat me cause then I'd leave without a car--again. We drove about 1/2 a mile and suddenly I had this wet/cool feeling in my nether regions. I was pretty confident that I had not unexpectantly relieved myself (you never know) but I sure was relieved when the salesman asked me how I liked the A/C seats he had switched on. I told him he might want to warn people before turning that baby on! Whew! I'm still able to control my bladder! Ha!
Any who, I really enjoy your blog. You always make me smile and that is very important! Oh, BTW, you have great taste! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!

I think my new car strategy is to walk in the dealership door, say "you have 1 minute to tell me the actual price of this car (not the monthly payment)", stand there looking at my watch, and then walk back out. Also I think I already spent $250 at Home Goods this month but hey another go couldn't hurt. . . my email is everstouter@hotmail.com. - Ariel

I love my 2000 Nissan Maxima but its beginning to feel its age. I keep begging it to last forever since I hate car shopping. A trip to Home Goods always makes me feel better. Just bought two Ralph Lauren pills for a wedding gift last week - what a steal!

Wow, what a deluge of comments! I am not as savvy as you at car shopping: I get emotionally attached to the car. It's a bad deal. Anyway, I too lurk on your blog pretty much daily without commenting. Just know we are all hear silently following along! I live in rural NH and when I moved here, I was shocked to learn that randomly there was a slightly smaller HomeGoods in a lake town nearby and I was in heaven and very relieved.

I am out of the country for the winter. I'm somewhere that has practically NO shopping! It's beautiful, yes, and the sun shines every day and there's no snow. But, I'm not kidding, NO shopping! I literally dream about finding thrift stores to browse in. Please don't wake me. I love HomeGoods and stop in, when home, at least twice a week. I could really use the gift card because I think I will be shopping like a mad woman once I get back to civilization!!

Love your blog. I don't think I've ever commented. But I think your style is perfection.

Great car story..we have to start that lovely process soon as we just turned over 186k on our Lexus...drove from Dallas to Tucson last weekend and as I was driving I kept feeling a surge on the cruise control and mentioned to the hubster......he was like oh yeah I just ignore that...and I'm thinking dear Lord does he not remember the headline grabbing news of the cars going outta control and people dying???apparently he thinks I over react...let's just say that was my last road trip in that baby! So to get over the trauma...I could happily shop hg with the $250...

ohh Car shopping….not my cup of tea. :)

I haven't been able to shop at a Homegoods store in so long (i live in the middle of nowhere I guess) but there is going to be one opening soon that isn't too far away. I can't wait!
